Attendance

Excused absences comprise the following: participation in a scheduled event as a member of a university-sponsored athletic/scholastic team (official absence form required); religious holidays; accident or illness (accident report or health/doctor's note required); and death in the immediate family and other documented crises. Excuses for absences must be submitted within two (2) days after the day of return. Absences due to delayed or missed flights, trains, buses, etc. are UNEXCUSED ABSENCES.

One unexcused absence per course will not have repercussions on a student´s grade. Two unexcused absences will lower your grades by 5 %. Three unexcused absences absences will lower your grades by 10%. Classes start punctually. Late arrivals and early departures from class will count as half an absence. It is important to be prompt! 2 lates equals 1 unexcused absence.

Students are responsible for making up all work missed during absences. Students may not make up graded work for unexcused absences(see Assessment policy)

A student who misses 25% of total course hours will be considered as having abandoned the course and the final course grade will be reported as an "F".
